4. Rush University Accelerated BSN programs

   ellarose replied to krzysiu's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

5. Rush University Accelerated BSN programs

   ellarose replied to krzysiu's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

   I graduated from an accelerated BSN program and don't expect CRNA school to be ANYTHING like it. BSN was a breeze. I expect CRNA school to be 100 times harder, from what I have heard
